[BCVM22]

how close was it?

 

Not as close as it looked/sounded. Nady caught it at the edge of the track. Proverbial extra biscuit for breakfast and all that.

I never thought Id say this, but I HATE Derrek Lee.

 

God this is getting old.

[Omar]

how close was it?

 

Warning track.

[17 Seconds]

Wow, thanks for faking us out with the hop Lee. It wasn't even close. Eff you

[Hairyducked Idiot]

how close was it?

 

Well hit, but not near as close as the cameraman tried to make it look.

[Careless]

how close was it?

Front of the warning track, but it was a lot closer to a double than a hr. not high enough

[TruffleShuffle]

I never thought Id say this, but I HATE Derrek Lee.

 

lol

[Outshined_One]

how close was it?

 

Caught at the edge of the warning track.

[UMFan83]

how close was it?

 

I think it was gone with no wind

 

I don't know, it was hit too low IMO

[illiniguy]

how close was it?

 

I think it was gone with no wind

damn, Lee and Rammy are slumping lately and we are still winning. that bodes well for us.

[17 Seconds]

I never thought Id say this, but I HATE Derrek Lee.

 

Any everybody hates your constant whining and overreactions.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

If you are going to lose, I like one-run losses with underperformances from pitches you can normally rely on to drop your homestand to 7-2.

[Anomalied]

I never thought Id say this, but I HATE Derrek Lee.

just shut up

[UMFan83]

I never thought Id say this, but I HATE Derrek Lee.

 

Any everybody hates your constant whining and overreactions.

 

lol, he hit one hard to the warning track, what more do you want?

[TysonCBulls423]

woww this one stings so much more than its supposed to. It reminds me of the Fontenot long fly out at the track last year against Cincinnati. The hop though.... :(

[BigSlick]

If you are going to lose, I like one-run losses with underperformances from pitches you can normally rely on to drop your homestand to 7-2.

Who knows what would have happened if Nady didn't make one of several incredible catches and if Lou puts a pitcher in before Z completely melts down.

 

Lou always seems to pull a pitcher several batters too late

[TruffleShuffle]

I never thought Id say this, but I HATE Derrek Lee.

 

Any everybody hates your constant whining and overreactions.

 

add another one to the foes list! :good:

[UMFan83]

If you are going to lose, I like one-run losses with underperformances from pitches you can normally rely on to drop your homestand to 7-2.

 

Both losses on the homestand featured favorable pitching matchups and one run losses.

[ConstableRabbit]

That call is exactly why Len is not a great commentator. Why get so excited like that? Annoying.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I never thought Id say this, but I HATE Derrek Lee.

 

OK, I dont hate him, but he needs to either sit a game or be moved down the lineup

[TruffleShuffle]

That call is exactly why Len is not a great commentator. Why get so excited like that? Annoying.

 

because it looked like he hit the ball far?

[Drew Doughty]

That call is exactly why Len is not a great commentator. Why get so excited like that? Annoying.

 

Pat Hughes did the same thing, so I guess he sucks too right?

[Little Slide Rooter]

That call is exactly why Len is not a great commentator. Why get so excited like that? Annoying.

 

Harry Carey used to make that kind of call for a pop up to the short stop.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Now we can just play the what if game:

 

What if Z hadnt tried to break the bat over his knee like a 5 year old?

What if Jim Edmonds batted for Reed Johnson?

What if Nate McClouth want on performance enhancing subtances?
